Since Assisi became the chief instructor of the royal guard, he spends almost half of his time with the knights. Of course, he did leave my side occasionally before, but only for short training or to take care of some duties as the knight captain. Once I started my day, he spent most of his time with me.
And that ended when Assisi resigned as the captainâ¦
Anyway, he was the knight who was always with me. So Iâve thought it would be nice if there was a place I could go to in order to find Assisi. To find Caitel, I go to his office. To find Silvia, I go to Bolcena. And, though itâs rare, I go to Podere if I want to find Ferdel.
If Assisi doesnât come to see me, I donât know where Iâm going to look for himâ¦. Like that, I wished for a place I could go to when I wanted to find Assisi.
1Thatâs why I was even happier than he was when he was nominated as the chief instructor to teach novice knights. I even held a small party for him.
Now that I think about it, itâs not a big deal nowâ¦perhaps I got too excited.
But what can I do? Itâs true that Iâm happy about it.
âAre you visiting the knights?â
⦠Iâm done with work, so itâs true that I was going to see Assisi.
But, how did she know? Thatâs scary.
âYes. Itâs nearby. Since Iâm here already, I might as well visit the knights for a bit.â
Libby was the newest maid to take over Elyneâs role since Elyne got married. Unlike Elyne, she doesnât talk much, works well, and is almost expressionless. But somehow, she reminds me of Elene. So Iâm quite comfortable with her.
Libby smiles slightly at my answer.
Itâs really hard to see her smile. Itâs nice to see a rare smile, but I wondered why she was smiling for. Why are you smiling?
âArenât you a bit sad now that Sir Assisi is working elsewhere since youâve been with him for so long?â
âHuh?â
Libbyâs question automatically stops my feet.
Uh, well, thatâs the thing. Hmmâ¦
âTo be honest, I canât say that Iâm not sad at all. â
It would be a lie if I said it didnât affect me.
Actuallyâ¦Iâm not sure how I feel about seeing Assisi not needing me. Itâs complicated. Iâm happy, but also not happy.
